Yuuki didn't go directly to him, rather he went to his publishing company to visit Machida. His 'Re-Zero' would be sold in the bookstore shortly. He went to his car and drove toward the company since he felt someone was watching him. He knew it was Honda the assistant of Marika, he didn't know why she had followed him.
'Hmm, I guess this must have been, Marika,' Yuuki thought.
Honda also went into her car to follow him. She felt that he had noticed her but it seemed he ignored her. She became curious and also wanted to know where he would go this time since he didn't go back to his home.
Yuuki arrived in his company and saw it was still bright. He entered the building and some people greeted him since they knew this was their boss. He walked toward Machida's office and entered it directly. He saw her talking through the phone.
"Yes, we will send the books to Ginokuniya Bookstore," Machida said.
Yuuki didn't disrupt her and sat on the seat in front of her. He looked around and noticed her room was quite messy. He shook his head and helped to tidy this room up.
Machida felt embarrassed when she saw him tidied up her room. She didn't have time to take care of her room and she also didn't let the cleaning service to enter her room. She talked for a while and closed her phone, "You don't need to do this."
"It is okay, I need to thank you for your hard work," Yuuki smiled. He thought that this woman was working really hard. He was grateful to have such someone under him.
Machida still felt uncomfortable and also helped him to tidy up her place.
Both of them finished the cleaning very fast and they were sitting next to each other in the coach.
"How is the novel?" Yuuki asked.
"It is good, you don't need to worry about it," Machida said with a bright smile. She was glad that his novel was very popular and most bookstores had ordered his book. Even though she was tired but she was very happy.

Machida didn't reject his offer since she remembered the nice feeling when he massaged her. She didn't know why her boss was really good at massage but he knew that his boss had legs fetish. She didn't really mind since it showed that she was still attractive. But she sighed when she thought that she didn't have a boyfriend until now.
Her parents had talked to her several times to bring them a son-in-law or grandchildren since she was already in her late 20's. Her friend Iida from the Shounen Jump's editor had introduced her to several men in her companies but nothing caught her attention.
Machida and Yuuki were talking to each other until they were talking about Utaha's novel.
"Yes, I have checked it and I think that novel can become one of the most popular in the country too," Machida said.
Yuuki nodded, "Good, now, we only need to make a contract."
Machida looked at him and asked, "She is your girlfriend, how will you handle the contract?"
"Hmm, treat her the same as the other newcomer at first, but you need to give her book the best promotion when she is popular, so it won't be too late to upgrade her contract," Yuuki said.
If Utaha's novel wasn't good, he wouldn't even think to upgrade her contract but she had a good talent in writing. He knew she could become a best seller and she was also the queen of the family. Her identity was already made her to get good treatment from him but her talent was also the one that made him not hesitate to promote her.
Machida nodded, "Yeah."
"I will also promote it on my SNS," Yuuki said.
Machida also had confidence in Utaha's book since she had read it several times. She had to admit it was a beautiful love story and it was one of the rare genres in this industry. She had anticipated being antipated for Utaha to start her debut since both of them had become quite a friend.
Utaha was also the one who had told her about his leg fetish. She also told her about their night life and this sure gave a blow to her single life.
*RING
Suddenly her phone was ringing, Machida looked at him with an apology expression and asked him for permission to pick up the phone.
Yuuki nodded in response.
Machida stood up and walked toward the edge of the room. She opened the phone and said slowly, "What's wrong, mom?"
"Are you still working?"
"No, I am talking with my boss," Machida said.
"Boss? Is it a woman or a man?"
"It was a man," Machida asked. She was quite unsure why her mother asked her this question.
"Good, bring him back later, I want to see the face of my son-in-law."
Machida didn't answer her for a seconds until she shouted, "WHAT?? YOU MISUNDERTANDING!!"
"What's wrong?" Yuuki asked.
Machida shook her head and said, "Nothing." She continued to talk on the phone and said, "No, mom, this is a misunderstanding."
Her mother snorted, "Hmph, don't lie to me, you sound very happy earlier, just getting pregnant already my neighbor has shown me her grandchildren a few days ago, I also want it!!!"

Both of them were talking to each other until they closed the phone.
Machida looked very tired and went back to him.
"Is it your parents?" Yuuki asked.
Machida nodded, "Yes."
"Well, good luck on finding a boyfriend," Yuuki said.
Machida looked at him with a hateful expression, "Do you think that is the reason I can't get a boyfriend?"
Yuuki was flabbesgestied, "Is it me? Then what do you want? Do you want me to take respondbility?"
Machida was blushing when she thought that he would take responsibility.
*THUD
Suddenly the door opened and they saw someone there.
Machida didn't know this person but Yuuki knew this person well.
"Honda? What are you doing here?"
Honda was stared at by those two people who started to have cold sweat
